Subject: remove stalled job automatically in script

Hi,
It's been a while since my first question. that means LPRng has been
treating me well. :)
Now occasionally I have a job that stalled in the queue and piled up the
subsequent jobs forever.
then i have to manually remove the stalled job. so I am trying to remove
the stalled job
automatically when it happens. here, I have this portion of code at the
begining of the accounting
script.
&check_stalled_job;
sub check_stalled_job {
my $lpq = `lpq -P$opt{P}`;
if ($lpq =~ /stalled/) {
`echo $lpq | mail -s "clear stalled job" $mail_on_error`;
`/usr/sbin/lpc -kill $opt{P}`;
}
}
I am expecting to check the stalled job by filter out the 'stalled'
keyword from lpq result. Now
that doesn't seems to be working ( never got any email notification ). I
couldn't reproduce the
stalled problem at present so it's very hard to spot the problem.
I guess i am going to ask: Am i solving the problem the right way?
